. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.

A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d. Assume that the truck is able to compact the refuse to 350 kg/ m^3 What is the total tonnage of solid waste to be collected/wk? What is the total weight of waste to be collected everyday? What is the required truck capacity in cubic meters? Which truck should be bought?
To treat solid waste generated from a town of population 80000, a landfill is designed. The per capita solid waste generation is 1.8 kg/day/person and density of compacted solid waste is 1250 kg/m3. The solid waste cover factor is 3.0. Estimate the area of landfill required in hectares for 15 years of operation. Assume depth of landfill as 5 m.
